How to ace your Hong Kong flight stopover

The airport express train takes less than 25 minutes to the city centre, so with hours before your next flight there is time for a flying visit to cafes and sights – and maybe even some shopping

Hong Kong is the perfect stopover city. It’s small and densely packed, with everything from frantic street life to sky-high rooftop bars all packed into a postage stamp of an island. The Airport Express train takes just 24 minutes to zip from Chek Lap Kok airport to the heart of it all – meaning that you can really make the most of a day in the city.
